Every summer i feel like throwing in the towel and giving up on my garden. Then i watch your videos and my spirit is revived and i once again head outside to tend my garden.🪻🌷🌻🌱🦋🐞🐛🪰🙂
Just moved last year from 5 acres to a postage stamp yard...was frustrating at first, but learning to appreciate what I have and kind of liking the smaller space...this year I have a lot of earwigs, yuck...I'm on my third planting with zinnias and finally have some popping up! I can't wait for them to bloom, they make me happy😊. Your always such an inspiration to not give up.
@@countrygalinthecity i also want to downsize my 1/3 acre to a city lot....except i dont want to live in the city....lol. Imo having a small yard is more affortable. You can fill it with the best of plants, pots and structures etc. I have mainly (99%) natives to texas plants. I do not bring in, cover or stress about my plants during drought or freezes.
@@lsalinas2573 I'm having a hard time finding natives around here, I do plant perinials and I do have a few natives...might have to go into other towns for more natives. Trying raised beds and am finding you have to water a lot more....I just need to slow down and stop trying to get this all done now, cause it's just not going to happen. Then there's the neighbors 🙄...but I won't go there...lol.
Simply rustic and quaint and oh so country and you are so right about the prayers and i feel grounding and meditation is also needed 🙏 🇺🇸 ,love is the key, always 💞
Dear Jeri, your lovely old home filled with antique and recycled treasures and your beautiful gardens remind us to be content with what we have. In God's Word Paul tells us to stay free from the love of money and be content with what we have. Hebrews 13:6 and and in Phillilians 4:11-12 In whatever circumstances, to be content . You have shown us this many times over. God bless you and James and grant you many years in your sweet home. Love from Lin in Michigan
"Nature is the visible garment of God" just wrote those words of wisdom into my garden notebook. Thank you, Jeri. What a hoot to watch you water the Potager from the upstairs bathroom!
I so love your video, and love your garden! I live vicariously through your garden, so wishing I had a garden like yours. Thank you for sharing! I have a small garden, I live in the city. But I do love my garden. I do find peace in my garden. It is a great place to pray. God is so represented in the garden! 💐🍄🐛🌼🌿🪻🦋🦎🥀
I just tried zinnias this year for the first time. They are so easy to grow and beautiful. I just soaked my seeds in water for 24 hours and threw them in the garden. Your gardens are still beautiful! Thank you again for another wonderful peaceful video. I watch them multiple times.
You are always a wonderful inspiration. Thank you for that. ❤️ I grew and planted a few everlastings and my straw flowers made it. They are starting to bloom now. But the adorable baby bunnies ate all of the other two kinds I grew. A bit disappointing, but at least thier little bellies were full. Can't be mad about that. 😊 I will try again next season for sure. My husband is in the process of building me a greenhouse. About 90% of it will be recycled items. You helped inspired me for that project. 😊 Will give me a lot more room for seed starting. So excited about it all! Love love love your garden walks. Always so beautiful and gives me great ideas to try in my own gardens. I feel blessed to have found your channel and all the wonderful information you feed us with. God bless you Jeri. 💜🐝🦋
What a lovely garden. I love that you can see it from your upstairs and water too...that is delightful and made we think of how nice an old house is with all its possibilities. 🪴🪴🌼🌼
I came here today specifically to watch one of your videos because I was feeling extremely discouraged about our nation and everything that has happened in these last few weeks. I needed to watch something uplifting. I knew immediately it was the right decision and your ending statement was exactly what I needed to inspire me to go back out to the garden and keep working & communing with the Lord in prayer. May the Lord continue to bless you and your garden. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents. You are appreciated.❤
Jeri, I was feeling very discouraged this morning and not at all motivated. A few peaceful moments with you got me back on track again, and for this I thank you. God Bless you, lovely lady.
Yes, the garden is a place of peace and creative stimulation for me. I often talk to our Lord about all the wonders and fine tuning of his plant and animal life. One day I thought about the invention of the microscope . Our Lord even made the microscopic beautiful. It was a gift opened not that long ago in the scheme of things. Beauty we were oblivious to for hundreds of years.
I couldn’t help but get tickled at your watering from the top floor bathroom. lol Just another creative idea from Jeri. lol I can tell you’ve been a busy bee in your garden. Looks wonderful & more to look forward to. We have been struggling here in middle GA so badly with heat without rain. We’ve gotten a couple of sprinkles in 5 weeks so you can imagine how the flowers & shrubs look…I keep it watered but there is nothing like rain. Hugs from GA❤
What a beautifully illustrated book, its a delight. Your garden is such an inspiration, since we've had such a dry extremely hot summer & no rain. We're in So Oregon & praying for rain without the lightning. You have a wonderful week Jeri 🤗
Jeri ... you are a amazing person, your gardens (oh how lovely), thankyou for your channel, it is such a breath of fresh air to watch & try to gather some ideas --- yes we need to pray for our country, i am, to be able to pray is such a wonderful blessing. Your channel is so pleasant seeing the flowers and everything & your talking and explaining things is so nice. (thankyou again)
Thank you for praising our Creator God so boldly! It's so refreshing and encouraging to hear. I was just listening, really, while cleaning a summer cottage ( preparing for a friend to stay during camp meeting). I should come back and listen and watch again. You're gardening knowledge is certainly valuable. ~ Heather ~
Wonderful and Inspiring stroll through your garden - thank you for bringing us along! It is a good time and place to give thanks unto our Lord for His marvelous works and pray for our country and all countries as you mentioned and to get away from the turmoil for a while. So funny and neat watering your garden with the shower head LOL!
In this absolutely troubled world.Your videos are my background sounds as I run them on my phone while I Garden clean or just take a moment to relax❤ I have had you written in my Bible book of prayers for 5 years an my God bless you an Yours with Health Wealth an Good Cheer❤
Love the watering from an upstairs window!! I'm mostly in the planning stage for my backyard garden; getting ready to tackle a big clear out of overgrown in the fall now that I'm retired. God and the birds have planted many things, including several edible berries. As I was gleaning this gift, I had a peaceful moment appreciating the overgrown for once. Some plants that were taking over were not totally taking over, but providing some shady relief at times, and all the plants in this particular vantage point seemed to "get along". Even though that area will be "cleaned up", there was peace and beauty in the supposed chaos because it was true and pure nature from our Creator.
Thank You Jeri for sharing your Garden with us! And how fresh and fun to water from upstairs with your shower head. The spray looked delicious! I also love the way your green house looks from up here. Continued Blessings!!!
Oh yes Jeri, we need to pray. I find myself so overwhelmed, that I must turn off the electronics and focus on what the Lord has done for me. And yes, He has given you to us to help keep things in perspective. Thank you.
Thank you for inviting us into your lovely, calming garden. I'm inspired to plant everlastings. I learned quite a bit from your narration. And thanks for your wonderful words towards the end of your video, that the garden is a great place to meditate on the good things that we have in this world, and it's a good place to pray. Excellent reminders.
Jeri! I finally had success in direct planting seeds in my garden this year! I have tried several times with no success 😢. I decided to give it one more try. I got two bags to wildflower seeds and put them out while we were still having a lot of Pacific Northwest rain. Low and behold, they came up! They look so pretty! The rabbits and deer have got a few, but that's life in the rural areas 😅. Thank you for always inspiring me 🪻🌻🌷🌹❤.
Your videos are such a delightful gift 🎁! I grew some Silvery pink strawflowers a year ago and they are still holding their lovely pink color in my living room. Everlastings are amazing!
Lovely to have another insight into your potager Jeri, thank you. I have recently started to pick up fallen flowers and leaves in order to press them. Here in the UK we often use our old red telephone boxes as book libraries where you help yourself, read, return, donate. I picked up an old hardback to use for the storing, choosing a suitable rock for the weight. This I painted with forget-me-nots because now my treasures will never be forgotten, at least not by me anyway 🌺
Those poppy heads always look so interesting to me Jeri…good for dry arrangements. Love the idea of an everlasting garden so much…thank you for sharing with us all your efforts and results in your beautiful gardens. Praying for you and your country. May the Lord bless and keep you in perfect peace dear friend.
Hi Jeri , You really inspire me so much even when I am pulling weeds I can hear you saying make sure you get even the little ones! The window view was awesome, the gardens look so pretty. I just dread going back to work after two weeks off thinking my gardens will become weeds, however I can start my count down until retiring next summer!!! Blessings to you and your family !! hugs Paula
Hello Jeri from Chatsworth, So. Calif. [west valley]. Thank you, once again...for sharing your garden's here, with us. My high school friend [ w'65class, lol] who's nickname is Jeri for [Jerilynn]. Telling her about your exqusite and beautiful, Hand Felted and created...pieces. She looked them-up, and loved them, as do I. Plus telling her, what a great Artist/Illustrator and Author. As I have 2 of your, "Hopalong Hollow" book's. Plus mentioning, your program's here via YT, etc. Saying how much, you love...vintage 'goodie's', as we do...also. Plus having a piece of your, designed fabric/ 1 yd., apx. Made-up of beautiful borders of a Christmas type theme or winter theme. Loving it...All! Telling Jeri N., you are just like, Beatrix Potter...if I may? And your B.P. themed, garden. As you both, add so much joy, to the world and Art World, in itself...if I may. Plus, 'sew' much...more! Enriching other's lives and sharing your pet's and Farm type of life, as well. Sending prayers and well wishes, to you...and your's. 🌹😀👍✝️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Привет Джерри! У тебя красиво! А у меня цветут розы: крокус-роуз и лавиния. Я понимаю что они замерзнут зимой но сейчас это прекрасно. Спасибо тебе за то , что делишься своим садом!
My jaw dropped when I saw you were able to water the garden with your shower wand. WOW!! That is so handy. Everything looks great. There's a lot of love and work that goes into these gardens. I just came in from harvesting my lavender plants which are doing quite well. I don't think its the soil that is creating your lavender to become so woody. Try pruning your new plants annually to shape them and to avoid them becoming so woody and misshaped. Just a thought. Seems to be working for me thus far.
Blessings to all. Just love your gardens and your videos. What a nice view from upstairs and to be able to water from your bathroom ; ) Thank you for sharing your beautiful, calm corner of the world.
So envious that you grow Zinnias, mine keep getting eaten. Every year the same, something eats the flower buds out before they open. It's not slugs or snails. I believe it's earwigs. Such a nuisance. Love everything about your garden.
Good morning and happy Sunday from N. TX! I received my copy of the Everlastings book this week, very interesting! I've been starting seeds indoors (or trying) for the fall season, and starting a few outdoors too, but not many yet for fear the scorching sun will just fry anything that dares to poke up through the soil. Been taking a few rose cuttings here and there to attempt to propagate. And the Irises I purchased online are starting to arrive, so I'm putting some in pots to get them started until I can get their new beds prepped. I'm having some success this year with new plants and some failures, but that's gardening. The impulse purchased Scabiosa plants I put in never took off and just gave up, so next time I plan to try from seed. I also tried Santa Barbara Daisy again and some Catmint from seed and both took off to a good start, and both gave me a few blooms, but only the Catmint is still hanging in there. I also tried "Tassel flower" from seed and they bloomed really well for awhile and put out the cutest small bright orange tassel shaped flowers; they're about done now due to the heat I think, but I hope they reseeded some. I grew "butterfly pea" vine this year and it's still going! I've gotten blooms too, though not as prolifically (yet?) as I had hoped. The grasshoppers are terrible, again, as they are most years and they've done a great deal of damage to many plants, again. It's so discouraging. But this year there also seems to be way more Texas Giant Katydids than I remember from past years. They get huge! I took a photo of one a couple days ago that was 4 inches long and as big as a mouse! I used to think they just did damage to plants along with the grasshoppers, but I researched and learned they're actually carnivores and they feed on grasshoppers! So now I'm thanking the Lord for sending in the Cavalry! And keeping my distance since they also bite humans! Thank you for another wonderful video, that both blesses us and challenges us to step out and do more in our own spaces. Hope you and James are both enjoying a blessed Sunday!
Greetings Jeri! This was a stunning and peaceful opening of your beautiful garden and @ exactly 0:37,38 and 1:37 is a picture perfect painting, in fact it reminds me of the opening scene of Hobbiton in the Lord of the rings at the gate as you enter into the town. As well as others with the stone lined pathway and looking out over at the Meadow where you have your wicker furniture just beautiful and peaceful ! I never gave it much thought but with such a large garden I was just about to ask if you have irrigation when suddenly you used your shower head to water 😊. Isn’t summer just beautiful with all of Gods creation. Great video Jerk ! God Bless!…Brian
Jeri, I always enjoy seeing your beautiful gardens! You are amazing! But especially amazing is how you place the fluffy round green plant at the base of your white picket fences? I saw it in today’s video and I would love to know what kind it is so I can find it somewhere. It just sets off the tall stems so nicely and it’s just greenery, not a floral? It sort of looks like a curved grooved leaf like a geranium has.. but not? I hope you can share this with me because I want to do the same thing for my picket fence. Thank you so much! Lauri
That mounding plant is simply wild violets, you may have them in your lawn at this very minute. They grow from rhizomes and drop a lot of seed from the purple, blue or white flowers that appear in the Spring. They spread like weeds and many consider them to be just that. But I find them very pretty with the heart-shaped deep green leaves and bunching habit.
I shouldn't have given you false hope; I am nowhere near being finished with the artwork and I need to do a reprint of one of my other books which is sold out; so that has to be taken care of before I can print the garden journal.
I was interested in your everlasting garden Jeri :) Please can you tell me the name of the book you were looking at in your video today? I have straw flowers hanging in my kitchen. They are so colourful and cheerful. Your potager garden is working hard for you with help from you, of course and I can't wait to see what it looks like in a months time.
Good mornig Jeri, I am looking for the video of the seed starting trays you used this year. Id like to give it a try. Was it from vego? Thanks for the help
I do allow good snakes in my garden. It's important to know the good snakes from the venomous ones; here in East Tennessee we only have 2 baddies. I have, at this time, a rat snake who occasionally surprises me with his habit of lurking in my greenhouse. He has been great at keeping the mice and rats under control. I've grown rather fond of him and have given him the name Houdini.
With everything going on in the world, it is so very nice to escape to your garden 💐
That's a fact!
Every summer i feel like throwing in the towel and giving up on my garden. Then i watch your videos and my spirit is revived and i once again head outside to tend my garden.🪻🌷🌻🌱🦋🐞🐛🪰🙂
I often feel like that, I have TOO many gardens to care for, so I just concentrate each year on 2 or 3 of them.
Grasshoppers have eaten Everything that is green at my place!!!😢😢

It's one of the nicest quotes I know....
You are a treasure, as is each - of your videos.
Thank you.
So sweet how you must chicken- poof things...
I had an everlasting garden for a couple of years and enjoyed it. I pray for our country nightly.
Good to know that; we need God's intervention in these difficult days.
I can’t wait to see your everlasting garden !! Thank you Jeri ❤️ Thank you for acknowledging our incredible CREATOR !! He truly is amazing 🙏
No blooms yet, but all that rain has given us some strong healthy plants.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ALL Praise to Almighty God! Hallelujah! ❤
Amen!
Thank you for this beautiful post🥰
I had been waiting patiently for your next post And your garden this time of year looks beautiful
Your gardens are so beautiful. Thank you, for sharing them with us. God bless and keep you. 🌷💗

Drought has put a real struggle in my way this summer. I'm glad I planted a lot of zinnias. They are my favorites! Praying with you for our nation. 🙏
Prayer and Zinnias!
Gardening relieves my stress and provides quiet for meditation and prayer. Your garden is so welcoming and definitely offers a place to talk with God.
I just tried zinnias this year for the first time. They are so easy to grow and beautiful. I just soaked my seeds in water for 24 hours and threw them in the garden. Your gardens are still beautiful! Thank you again for another wonderful peaceful video. I watch them multiple times.
Don't you just love them?! I just toss a handful in the soil and a few days later I see those cute little leaves poking through.
So inspiring! Love your reference to Our Creator and to pray. Ingenious idea to water from your upstairs shower head.
I adore the paneled shed you made attached to your house.
That's my little Greenhouse!
Love your perspective Jeri, God is always good
You are always a wonderful inspiration. Thank you for that. ❤️ I grew and planted a few everlastings and my straw flowers made it. They are starting to bloom now.

So peaceful, I love the wildness and beauty of your garden!!!!
Yes, praying here in Vt for our country.
What a lovely garden. I love that you can see it from your upstairs and water too...that is delightful and made we think of how nice an old house is with all its possibilities. 🪴🪴🌼🌼

God is good all the time...all the time God is good! Thank you Jeri for another inspiring video.
Don’t throw in the towel, please! I love your gardens, you give me ideas and help, for my new garden.
Not to worry, I am still here; just waiting on a new camera as my old one died.
I am fighting Japanese beetles. Argh! Love the video.
They"re awful! they reduced my grape leaves to skeletons and started on the roses.
Truly love this! So relaxing & beautiful 😍
Oh yes Jeri, we need to pray. I find myself so overwhelmed, that I must turn off the electronics and focus on what the Lord has done for me. And yes, He has given you to us to help keep things in perspective. Thank you.
Sometimes we need to get away from all the news and media and find some peace.
Really nice. 🌞 Thanks Jeri 🌸💮🏵️🌻🌼

You have created a haven!
Those poppy heads always look so interesting to me Jeri…good for dry arrangements. Love the idea of an everlasting garden so much…thank you for sharing with us all your efforts and results in your beautiful gardens. Praying for you and your country. May the Lord bless and keep you in perfect peace dear friend.
Thank you for the prayers, we live in strange times. For a History lover like me, it's almost surreal to watch as History unfolds before our eyes.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Yes, I agree.

My roses are getting a rest, and hopefully I will get a 2nd bloom from them in a few weeks.
Amen Jerri, Amen!

I just came in from harvesting my lavender plants which are doing quite well. I don't think its the soil that is creating your lavender to become so woody.
Try pruning your new plants annually to shape them and to avoid them becoming so woody and misshaped. Just a thought. Seems to be working for me thus far.
I agree, I was very careless about pruning my lavender last year.
So beautiful.
Blessings to all. Just love your gardens and your videos. What a nice view from upstairs and to be able to water from your bathroom ; ) Thank you for sharing your beautiful, calm corner of the world.
So envious that you grow Zinnias, mine keep getting eaten. Every year the same, something eats the flower buds out before they open. It's not slugs or snails. I believe it's earwigs. Such a nuisance. Love everything about your garden.
I'm not too fond of those earwigs, I had no idea they ate Zinnias>>
Good morning and happy Sunday from N. TX! I received my copy of the Everlastings book this week, very interesting! I've been starting seeds indoors (or trying) for the fall season, and starting a few outdoors too, but not many yet for fear the scorching sun will just fry anything that dares to poke up through the soil. Been taking a few rose cuttings here and there to attempt to propagate. And the Irises I purchased online are starting to arrive, so I'm putting some in pots to get them started until I can get their new beds prepped. I'm having some success this year with new plants and some failures, but that's gardening. The impulse purchased Scabiosa plants I put in never took off and just gave up, so next time I plan to try from seed. I also tried Santa Barbara Daisy again and some Catmint from seed and both took off to a good start, and both gave me a few blooms, but only the Catmint is still hanging in there. I also tried "Tassel flower" from seed and they bloomed really well for awhile and put out the cutest small bright orange tassel shaped flowers; they're about done now due to the heat I think, but I hope they reseeded some. I grew "butterfly pea" vine this year and it's still going! I've gotten blooms too, though not as prolifically (yet?) as I had hoped. The grasshoppers are terrible, again, as they are most years and they've done a great deal of damage to many plants, again. It's so discouraging. But this year there also seems to be way more Texas Giant Katydids than I remember from past years. They get huge! I took a photo of one a couple days ago that was 4 inches long and as big as a mouse! I used to think they just did damage to plants along with the grasshoppers, but I researched and learned they're actually carnivores and they feed on grasshoppers! So now I'm thanking the Lord for sending in the Cavalry! And keeping my distance since they also bite humans! Thank you for another wonderful video, that both blesses us and challenges us to step out and do more in our own spaces. Hope you and James are both enjoying a blessed Sunday!
I had no idea Katydids got that large....of course you are in Texas!
Greetings Jeri! This was a stunning and peaceful opening of your beautiful garden and @ exactly 0:37,38 and 1:37 is a picture perfect painting, in fact it reminds me of the opening scene of Hobbiton in the Lord of the rings at the gate as you enter into the town. As well as others with the stone lined pathway and looking out over at the Meadow where you have your wicker furniture just beautiful and peaceful ! I never gave it much thought but with such a large garden I was just about to ask if you have irrigation when suddenly you used your shower head to water 😊. Isn’t summer just beautiful with all of Gods creation. Great video Jerk ! God Bless!…Brian

Jeri, I always enjoy seeing your beautiful gardens! You are amazing!
But especially amazing is how you place the fluffy round green plant at the base of your white picket fences?
I saw it in today’s video and I would love to know what kind it is so I can find it somewhere.
It just sets off the tall stems so nicely and it’s just greenery, not a floral?
It sort of looks like a curved grooved leaf like a geranium has.. but not?
I hope you can share this with me because I want to do the same thing for my picket fence.
Thank you so much!

That mounding plant is simply wild violets, you may have them in your lawn at this very minute. They grow from rhizomes and drop a lot of seed from the purple, blue or white flowers that appear in the Spring. They spread like weeds and many consider them to be just that. But I find them very pretty with the heart-shaped deep green leaves and bunching habit.
Thanks for sharing. (What's the animal shouting?) 🌹💖
That's a peacock. Sometimes they sound like babies crying. They are beautiful but noisy.
We have 3 peacocks, they are loud!
Any hints on when your Garden Journal will be available? I’m so looking forward to it! 😊
I shouldn't have given you false hope; I am nowhere near being finished with the artwork and I need to do a reprint of one of my other books which is sold out; so that has to be taken care of before I can print the garden journal.
It’s ok ! I will just keep anticipating for someday !❤

I was interested in your everlasting garden Jeri :) Please can you tell me the name of the book you were looking at in your video today? I have straw flowers hanging in my kitchen. They are so colourful and cheerful. Your potager garden is working hard for you with help from you, of course and I can't wait to see what it looks like in a months time.
Its an older book from 1986 "the Book of Dried Flowers" by Malcolm Hillier.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow thank you very much
Good mornig Jeri, I am looking for the video of the seed starting trays you used this year. Id like to give it a try. Was it from vego? Thanks for the help
yes, VEGO
❤The mugs are very nice. But are most left hand? If picked up in right the side showing has no photo.
I redesigned most of them to have an image on both sides. Be sure to look at all the mugs from the Spring website, I have at least 30 designs.
you are amazing. Will you please tell me what the beautiful book you were looking through is?
The Book of Dried Flowers by Malcolm Hillier
Thank you
Mine is suffering so bad this year from all this heat, so sad. 😔
Sorry to hear that, we had HEAT for 10 days, then it RAINED!
Jeri, we have a terrible problem with deer in our area. Do you have any suggestions of plants deer will avoid? They seem to eat everything!
Deer don't eat marigolds. In fact if you dot your gardens with marigolds, the smell will deter them from eating the other plants.
They also don't eat plants that a poisonous - beauties like foxglove, nightshade (do a search online for others that might grow in your area)
@@lovetogarden2664 thank you! I'll try this!
❤ Lizards are ok…but do you allow snakes in your garden? 😮
I do allow good snakes in my garden. It's important to know the good snakes from the venomous ones; here in East Tennessee we only have 2 baddies. I have, at this time, a rat snake who occasionally surprises me with his habit of lurking in my greenhouse. He has been great at keeping the mice and rats under control. I've grown rather fond of him and have given him the name Houdini.
